Kalis Ilustrisimo. An example of attacking the blade to make a path for the actual strike. Here, I feint low, but he shows the stop hit thrust. I pause, then enter with a roof block (sombrada) to his sword and then trap the hand to stifle my partner’s roof counter This opens up the high line target for a thrust. A simple strategy that takes a lot of sparring time to pull off live. #KalisIlustrisimo #IlustrisimoSystem #TatangIlustrisimo #GuroDan #BurtonRichardson #BattlefieldKali #Kali #Eskrima
